More I listen to his performance the more convinced I am - God given gift for all of us. No doubt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Genius !!!!!!!!!!!!! RIP
Plain answer are you (^:?
I want to leave a thumbs up.. but my favorite number is 12… keep it that way
I've never heard this album. Boy, Chet and his band were on fire for this recording. Guitar players have on and off days, but this is one of the best sessions for Chet and the rest of the guys for sure. Wish I could have been there in the audience.
This was beyond a shadow of a doubt the best album he ever recorded! There's so many tunes in this album I've heard before, and more that I never knew he recorded, and I just couldn't stop listening to it! ❤
To be inspired to learn the Guitar you listen to Chet Atkins..Never be another!!
Genius. My Hero!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RIP Chet Atkins
Never heard Chet play so fast and flawless. Better than any studio recording. Many thanks.
Billy Denham yes, but I have over 50 of Chet’s albums and he’s quite flawless nearly always! Love him!
You know studio mistakes can be corrected but in a live performance you only have one chance to get it right. Chet was the master performer.
@@bgdenham Very true. Chet told us that he liked to play things 50 different ways, otherwise he got too predictable. If you take that into consideration as well, he certainly was a master of his craft.
This was Chet at his very best - flawless execution, very musical and full of surprises.
Absolutely Kevin...He was at the peak of his talent. I was fortunate to attend a couple of his concerts locally during this time frame. I actually got to play for him once. He was very humble & appreciative of his fans. Memories I will treasure the rest of my life!!!!
@@m2xvdXfs what was it like playing by in front of him? I feel as though the pressure of him listening would put me off and I’d make a fool of myself.
@@Goldenrod01 This was at a special John Knowles workshop in Dallas, TX back in the '90's. Instructional DVD's were the latest thing then & Chet was receiving lots of requests for a DVD. John Knowles arranged a session of handpicked guitarists to meet with Chet & play for him a selection of tunes & ask him questions after he played them. I was selected to play "Happy Again" for him. I went blank half way thru the tune & Chet picked up on his guitar were I left off & he & I finished the song together. He noticed my disappointment in my performance, so he whispered in my ear not to worry about it & that had happened to him many times before!!! We were forbidden to film the event with our camcorders, so all I have is the memory of this special event, which is one of greatest events of my life!!!!!
C'est vous qui jouiez Arès dans la série " Xéna la guerrière" et la série "Hercule" ?
Nice to hear this today, with my pickin and studio heros. Just wonderful. Smell the roses, so to speak. Thank you.
I consider myself privileged to have seen him once at a little café in downtown Nashville. Have heard many of his recordings - maybe most - but the personal touch in that café still tops everything.
Please excuse me but let me tell you’re a fucking lucky guy !
I know what you mean. Was privileged to see and hear Jerry Reed perform for a small crowd at the Western Kentucky State Fair in 1975. He gave a great show. Tom T. Hall performed at the Porter County State Fair (Valparaiso IN) just a few years before his death. A real gentleman.
I was also a privileged to be in the audience when Ray Stevens gave an outstanding performance at the Holiday Star Theater (now gone) in Merrillville IN in around 2001. He gave all he had and got a standing ovation. We clapped till our arms literally dropped.
There's nothing like seeing them in person, especially at small intimate gathers.
I have never heard such a bright, sonorous and clean Yakety axe anywhere else.
He was just a simple kid from East Tennessee, but wow what a giant he became.
Still my favorite thumbpicker.
His music lives on.........🙏🙏🙏😎😎😎❤️❤️❤️
Ridiculously good .
So excellent!
Best guitar player that ever lived!
Phenomenal music and musicians. Chet Atkins was a legendary musician, record producer, recording executive, and an excellent human being. He is still a legend and certified guitar player. Rest in heaven Chester and Leona! Together again never to part!
Wow! The Master...😎😎😎
Thanks for cleaning up, digitizing and posting this wonderful show.
Chet has had a big influence on me, the first time I heard Chet playing Swedisch rapsody when I was @ age of 17, then I want to play the guitar too. I studied 12 years classicale guitar en Chet style. He is my hero I own 60 LP' s from Chet and own this LP too. Much of his songs are difficult ( can' t play wit my left thumb on the fretboard), because I have short hands (Chet has big hands), @the age of 70, I 'm listening his albums most every day!
youn are not alone.................. me tooo, every day................ chet is the inspiration............
This album is the reason I bought a nylon string guitar when I was 20. I was obsessed for years about trying to nail down his style and technique but realized that this is a very special gift that only few are born with .... I still work on it but It's a lot of fun just to have this on my stereo, soak in that magic
Right. I know what you mean. You have to be born with it. Heredity! I have to laugh at environmentalists, who think that anybody can do anything if he/she just puts in enough hours of practice!
Those with the 'gift' inspire the rest of us to make the most of what we have.😁 I've been at it for 50yrs. (tryin' to make the most of it I mean)
Those who have the gift spend about 8 hours a day more with the things that are hung on your wall
@@daviddawson1718 Yeah, did the 8 hr a day thing for a long time, missed classes, family functions and work many many times.... that's when I came to the realization... mine will never hang on the wall, can't play it on the wall.... lol
his technique IS obtainable..just have to stay with it...his leads are all mostly sweeps and (slower) single line notes..paul yandell (left speaker) (IMO) are bluegrass and country licks and are better than chets..but chet has the arrangements and harmonies perfect.
Chet at his flawless best. I'm glad I was on earth to witness his genius live a
few times.
Excellent!
Many thanks for this upload. I am French and had this LP for years and lost it in moving house. I have tried to play some of those great tunes with tabs for such a long time... this LP has had a huge influence on my playing and my love of fingerpicking and the art of Chet Atkins. Marcel Dadi did a lot to make fingerpicking more popular on France also!!
Marcel was a great guy! Figured things out, then showed us how to play them.
J'étais là et eux aussi...Que de souvenirs.
I still have a couple of Marcel's tutorial DVDs that were copied over from VHS tape.
Chet Adkins,Jerry Reed,Roy Clarke,Glen Campbell ,Steve Warner,Mark Knopler, are my most favorite guitarist,Oh merle Travis another great , probably all these others hero's.

Thank you i searched for that in the comments !!
Thanks!
Thank You Rajdeep👌
Thank you, forever grateful.....
I've seen him play so many times and I never get tired of it. Thank you for making this available for us.
Nico, Today I am a Happy Man. I guess in all these past years I never really looked in the right place. This past week I did. As you are aware, this wonderful LP was only released in Europe (Recorded Live in Paris). Last week I did tap into Discog and found many copies in France, Germany, Sweden, etc. I finally bought a Mint, Mint- copy in Germany. It's now a done deal and hopefully wafting its way to San Diego. What I never understood is why RCA only released this album in Europe considering Chet's position with RCA in the United States. It's not only a phenomenal performance by Chet and his supporting players, it appears to also be a phenomenal quality sound recording. Live recordings can be iffy at best, but the recording engineers at the Olympic Theater that night had their "A" game on! I'm sure Chet had a big hand in that, perfectionist that he was. Nico, thank you so much for bringing this magic recording to light. Chet fans around the world owe you a great deal of gratitude!
Jamais entendu cet enregistrement ! Merci beaucoup ! Chet The Master ! Certes, d'autres ont une technique encore plus travaillée. Mais ce qui fait de Chet le seul et unique à mes yeux, c'est son feeling ! Ce feeling qui fait passer la technique au second plan...
Bonjour Chet était à Paris invité par Marcel Dadi en 1978 cette album fait partie du spectacle à Olympia
Great Sound! I usually don't care for the albums uploaded from LP, unless from a pristine (usually brand new) LP . . . CD has spoiled me. I know, I've heard all about the loss of really high and low sounds, blah blah blah, but I'm 70 and can't hear all those anyway. I just can't stand any hiss, pops, clicks. This upload is superb. Thanks for the upload.
Wow! Didn't know about this gem! One of his best for sure. Thank you for posting it!
Chet said he did his "fingerstyle" guitar technique, because he "didn't know any better." After awhile, he began realizing some of those solo stylings he did were originally done by guitarists and groups with multiple guitars playing at once. But he could copy "multiple guitarists" playing those songs -- by himself. "Didn't know any better," huh? Well I've never heard "any better" either.
each performance he gave outdoors _
Only 45'55 I was in a boat looking at someone 😌
I have been looking for this album for many years. Thank you, thank you, and thanks again for sharing this amazing collection.
My brother saw all three concerts at the Olympia in Paris and was blown away because Chet Atkins played mostly different tunes each evening. It is also noteworthy that so many tunes are played on the acoustic guitar in the style of the "Alone" or "Picking my Way" albums, whereas in the US all the recorded appearances of that period show Chet using the electric guitar a lot more. The reason I think is that Chet Atkins was well advised by Marcel Dadi about the French audience: he introduced Chet Atkins and Jerry Reed's music to the French audience from the early 70's and recorded his 4 first albums until 1979 mostly on acoustic guitars with very little background music, more in plain Merle Travis style, and the French audience of that time much preferred to see the plain "naked" guitar player. So, this is is a unique and extraordinary opportunity to hear Chet Atkins play so many tunes on nylon strings in one concert.
Nail it to the point. THX. Chet is a God gifted artist, no one even close....
I've got the book about Lenny Breau that's called One Long Tune. I actually learned a lot about Chet that I didn't know before from that book. Chet was the consummate musical businessman. I always wondered why Chet never quoted other tunes in the midst of a song. I'm sure now that it's because he knew it would increase the number of people that royalties had to be paid to.
Thanks for uploading this. I have heard a few of these pieces on "Best of Chet live on the road" but a lot is new. Nice to hear Chet play these tunes live.
The MASTER at work.... PRICELESS. thanks so much for posting. I thought I had all his albums..... I was mistaken.
Merci ! J'ai le 33trs de ce spectacle et j'adore !
Great upload! Thank you very much!!
great stuff..paul yandell is in the left speaker..he was phenominal...
you prolly dont care but if you are bored like me during the covid times then you can watch all the new movies on Instaflixxer. Have been streaming with my gf for the last few months =)
@Gavin Hank yea, have been using Instaflixxer for since december myself =)
I challenge anyone to name a more melodical guitarist than the legendary Chet. I can't think of one.
Great album Chet Atkins was the best sub to your channel like 55.
i love it dear lennon
Wish it was a video!
Me too 🙂
For the better part of the past year I have searched for this LP, but I’m beginning to believe that it really doesn’t exist.
I’ve been on some many wild goose chases. At one point l heard that was only released in Europe, specifically France. On. visits to all the major vintage record shops in Paris & Bordeaux and in Germany & the UK l’ e had zero luck!
So does anyone out there know that this incredible recording exists in LP, cassette, reel to reel or 8-track? As you might surmise, I’m beyond desperate! Come on true Chet fans help me out here!
This recording comes from a double LP, Frensh press, RCA PL42939
@@NicoBorger I was in Paris about a month ago and I searched almost every vintage record store I could find. Needless to say, I came up empty. Nico, do you happen to know where I could get a decent copy of this LP? Like so many others have commented, this recording represents to me one of the Best Live performances I've heard. The actual recording quality is also amazing. As you are probably aware, most live recordings can be hit or miss!....this one hits the quality mark for me. Do you know if they released this recording in any other format, like reel to reel, cassette or 8-track? I'm really desperate to find any decent copy I can. Nico if you know where I might find this LP, I will be eternally greatful!
@@georgeandrus3500 You can buy the LP at Discogs. www.discogs.com/sell/release/4802316?ev=rb
Now, this is real music. I hate the shreeky, squawkie noise that other musicians crank out today.
The purposefully out of tune harmonies on Peanut Vendor crack me up so much
Nico Borger : Hi Nico. Just wanted to point out that Wildwood Flower was played in between Mister Sandman and Freight Train in the final medley.
fantastic quality, great stuff. thanks for this upload! I'd love to know the names of some of the tracks he played that night. Any chance to get a tracklist?
Wow I should've really read the video description before posting, huh? Thanks so much for sharing!
Chet superb as usual. Did not Henry Strezlicki tour as one of the Blue Boys with Jim Reeves in Norway and Sweden?
Yes and that video is still available
@@joyvee1952 thanks. I do have the concert.
Thanks! How did you get such a clear sound? Is this recorded from the LP or digitally available? My version has lots of noise in it.
It was recently digitized from LP using Adobe audition.
@@NicoBorger it sounds great. Thank you for uploading. Chet at his best.
Wheel's?
Chet singin' good too. He almost told that Dolly joke...."she came from the hills of East Tennessee and brought them with her!"
F F which one was it? Maybe the one about a Mosquito! Do you believe that Mosquito bit her on the arm... 😎😎😎👀👀👀😂😂😂
@@rodcrawford5547 Starts about 53:50
don't get better, most copied guitarist ever.
Chets trying to sound too much like Jerry Reed and his fi-ness is almost gone! Get back on the Gretsch son!
If you said that in person in front of me, your nose would already be broken.
